Table 5

Correlation of average IL28B serum levels with the genotypes of rs8099917.

ValueStd. error-value value

(Intercept)1.5860.02558.820
rs8099917-GT0.0570.0491.160.25
rs8099917-GG0.1150.0572.030.04

Note: results for “intercept” correspond to “GG” genotype; that is, (conc.) = 1.586 for TT genotype, with ~0.06 increase in (conc.) with each additional G-allele.
